Definition: This calculator computes the volume of different geometric shapes using standard mathematical formulas.
Purpose: It helps students, engineers, and professionals quickly determine the volume of various shapes for academic or practical applications.
The calculator uses different formulas based on the selected shape:
Rectangular: \( V = L \times W \times H \)
Cylindrical: \( V = \pi \times r^2 \times h \)
Where:
Details: Accurate volume calculations are essential in construction, manufacturing, fluid dynamics, and many scientific applications.
Tips: Select the shape, enter the required dimensions, and click Calculate. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What units should I use?
A: Use consistent units for all dimensions. The result will be in cubic units of whatever unit you used.
Q2: Can I calculate volume for other shapes?
A: Currently this calculator supports rectangular and cylindrical shapes only.
Q3: How precise are the calculations?
A: Calculations use PHP's floating-point precision (typically 14 decimal digits).
Q4: Does this include conversion between units?
A: No, you must enter all dimensions in the same unit system.
Q5: What's the value of π used?
A: The calculator uses PHP's built-in pi() function which provides π to available precision.
